I support the addition of a dark mode as well and will be submitting a feature request momentarily. Sounds like there is some demand for this change. Some of the tips mentioned above seem quite helpful as well.

I don’t know if this feature request has died on the vine, but I’d like to express my support for it. @David J102’s suggestion is helpful, but it doesn’t affect the UI elements of Lucid, which is unfortunate.

I am also a user with a vision condition that makes it physically impossible for me to use LucidChart as it stands right now. Please add dark mode - this is an accessibility must, not a nice-to-have as another user has already so succinctly put. The suggested workaround involving modifying the color scheme on charts is also not a good solution from an accessibility perspective, as there are people with the opposite issue, where a darker scheme is impossible for those users to see.

Such a pity that I can’t use Lucid when I’m sick.

My eyes are highly sensitive at the best of times and so much worse when I’m sick. They burn so much looking at white backgrounds, I can’t work like this.

My developer teams would greatly prefer if they could have an AWS-style dark mode for Lucidcharts.

 

A lot of the times AWS exports their archtecture diagrams onto dark grey backgrounds anyway. So this is already a fairly standard way of looking at software architecture diagrams around the software engineering world.

 

Also in general, most of the applications my developers use all support dark mode already. Code IDEs, JIRA, AWS, bitbucket etc… Lucidcharts is one of the few apps in their toolset that does not support dark mode which really stands out and is a complaint they often bring up. They were surprised this fairly standard feature was not already supported.

Jonathan L101 :

Just started using the Dark Reader extension which works pretty well IF you use the right settings.

In the Dark reader app click on "More" and then change the mode to "Filter" or "Filter+":

Hi ​@ilo, thank you for adding to this thread. Unfortunately, Lucid doesn’t currently support dark mode. While not ideal, some users find it helpful to change the background color. To learn how to change the background color of your Lucid document, I recommend checking out this article.
